Comments from 12/2/18 Poll - Factors influencing recruitment of teachers

Comments from December 2, 2018 Poll

In your opinion, what factor most influences the ability of a school/district to attract top teacher talent?

Answer Respondent
Salary and benefits are also highly important Anonymous
Hard to do your job when you can’t pay your bills. Anonymous
Educators want to work where they know employees are happy and the organization is a supportive environment. Anonymous
I think other factors have a similar influence and districts that attract good teachers have several promotable factors. Anonymous
Reputation can and should incorporate the other factors, all of which are important factors. Anonymous
First-time teachers, given a choice, pick a good salary. They don't appreciate good administrators or mentoring until much later because they believe they know everything. They don't think about benefits until they have their own families. Color me cynical. Anonymous
A well-deserved reputation. Money is important, but loving your job is more so. I'd rather work in a supportive district with positive morale and support for both teachers and students. Having worked at the other end, it was AWFUL. Anonymous
We continue to train great young teachers, only to lose them to neighboring districts who pay a substantially higher salary. Anonymous
a good reputation for a district is usually all inclusive. Anonymous
